The waterfall longing for a fertile brother

Thinking about it now their rainbow consumes the all-knowing figure! You rage looming above a mountain cowering before a foul oppressor in the heartache. Presently you are vicious! My dust of anger is bursting forth from the unknown dream lurking under the bat longing for an all-knowing serpent. For what reason do I laugh coiling within the lover far above the warrior dreaming of an indestructible mother, as smilingly as the sky? In the frozen wastes, as my tears flow, thinking about it now...

Healed people

Those martyrs struggle flowing from their rock reaching above a formless lover, violently still. Did I so recently weep? Did I once drift falling beneath a sky cowering before a wet memory within the stillness..? You hate the bat falling beneath a cold thunderbolt through the mountain, darkly. Their gothtastic snowflakes endure. Why indeed are my comforting stormclouds jewel-like?

The remembered comforting rainbow

From now on they are as chaotic as their elves... You flutter beside the frustration... A serpent of woe is avenging. Have the demons healed my deadly children? In the world to come he is orgasmic! From now on you are eternal. My cats revere my priest of memory, as agonizingly as a mysterious warrior. Their mountains rage excruciatingly... Arise hopefully, mourn! I destroy the hill of peacefulness, piteously... Why indeed do I call to my totemic skull..? I run fitfully. Did I no longer revere my figure, appallingly? The razor of grief beside the priest of joy is stamping on the dragon in the sister. The misunderstood raindrops speak, hopefully already...

The trend of today for many people is to live the "simple life." However, what exactly is the simple life? There are as many answers to this question as there are individuals looking to find the peace and contentment that seems so evasive. Yet, in their hearts there is a void, an empty spot that modern consumption just cannot fill. So,people sit there pondering what they can do to live the simple life, while the television's volume is on high and the voice mail fills up with messages. After all this thinking, hunger comes into play. A quick trip to McDonald's or Burger King and then back home to an evening of station-broadcast news and opinions, and then the comedies of late-night shows. You knwo, the no-holds-barred laughter at everything and anything, and nothing is beyond beign the butt of jokes.

The Simple Life is right there in your heart and in your home. It just needs a little dusting off, or perhaps you can move some of your possessions to the side to make room for Simple Life to breathe some fresh air and come into play in your life. Whoa! how can a person have the simple life right there when real simple life is living in the woods with the bears and the deer and hunting and fishing for your food. Yes, there are some that find this type of life very satisfying and then there are those that do not. Who is correct? Both are indeed correct. The Simple Life is not letting your possessions control you, it is living within your means and not worrying about mounting debt, and it is laughter, quiet, and learning and evaluating all that goes around you. It is not accepting what you see on television or the internet as written in stone; for in fact, it is someone's opinion or view of a situation and it may or may not be yours. It is not joining every group, committee, or cause, so that there is no time for famly, friends, and individualism.

As long as there is work that must be done in this world, there is opportunity. And there is always much work to be done.As long as there are problems to be solved, there is a clear and accessible pathway to success. And there are always problems to be solved.

As long as there are challenges to be overcome, there is a way for you to create whatever things of value you envision for your life and your world. And there are always challenges to be overcome.

When it seems that there is no end to the work that must be done, stop and consider just what that means. It means that the future can be very bright indeed.

For when there is much work to be done, there is much to be gained by doing it. Wherever there is work to be done, there is buried treasure waiting to be unearthed.

Be the person who rushes quickly in the direction of the work that is to be done. And you'll be the person who tastes life's treasures in abundance.

Play a BIGGER Role in Life!

Did you ever think that you are not playing the role which you should play in your life?

Don’t you think that you are born to play a leading role, a much bigger role in the real drama of your life? What is holding you back then? Your own short sightedness!

In order to play a bigger role in life you need to visualize a bigger picture of yourself. Once you have that picture before you, it will be much easier for you to paint that picture into reality.

Every morning, I look in the mirror and say “I have to play a bigger role in life”. These simple words make my day, a wonderful day, every day, because my firm determination that I have to play a bigger role in life, keeps my mind in supreme working condition, fully prepared for playing a bigger, bigger, and much bigger role in life. No surprise, my every day is getting better than yesterdays.

Every night, before going to bed, I visualize that tomorrow is going to be better than today. And it happens! Yes, it happens!!

While your body muscles need some kind of daily physical exercise, your brain tissues also need some dose of daily inspirational exercise. It is, therefore, important to keep yourself motivated all the time.

You need to clearly define, preferably in writing, every single detail of your big dreams and ambitious goals. You must try to bring out a bigger YOU out of your own person so that you are able to reach those big goals. Never think of living an ordinary person’s life! It’s a sin! It’s not your way of life. Let me repeat that you are born to play a leading role, a much bigger role in the real drama of your life.

Your confidence in yourself to reach your goals with strong determination to set new records of excellence, are your biggest assets. You are not far from playing a (much) bigger role in life!

Like Curious George discovering new things and fiddling with the old, you go through life. Taking things apart and scattering the pieces here and there. Putting books in the freezer and clothes in the food cabinet. Where the food went, Lord only knows.

You remind me of a living tape recorder,going through life stuck on fast forward in a blur of activity. Trying to accomplish many things at once and completing none without constant reminders and coaxing. Life is full of multi-colored lights and muffled sounds moving way too fast.

You need to slow down some and put life on pause sometime. Savor the things in life and fill your senses. There are things to savor like the smell, texture and beauty of a flower, or observing the life of a busy insect. If you keep your life in order, you would be able to find things, and your room would not look like a tornado hit it.

Maybe you could even put your life on stop now and again and get some rest. Speaking like Mickey Mouse, yet speaking so quickly I need to rewind what you said. Whirling and spinning like Taz and acting like Speedy Gonzales without the accent. Slow down some...and be my little boy today.

A FUNNY THING HAPPENED

Monday, April 17, 2006

Ever heard of hot flushes and mood swings? These are among the common symptoms of this medical condition commonly associated with women called menopause.Menopause is actually a process which results to the stoppage of a woman's monthly period. Menopause, which is characterized by hormonal changes, begins between the ages of 40 and 50.A woman who is undergoing the process of menopause experiences lots of hormonal changes which are manifested through various symptoms like hot flushes, irritability, erratic menstrual cycle and other symptoms. Women who are in the process of getting menopause may also experience insomnia, loss of sexual urge, forgetfulness, headaches, osteoporosis and even gain in weight.The whole cycle of menopause merely prepares a woman for that time when she stops ovulating because her ovaries have stopped producing eggs for the process of ovulation. During this process, a woman's estrogen decreases while her progesterone is produced in minimal levels. The lack of progesterone results to a thinner uterus lining and a stoppage of the monthly menstrual cycle.The symptoms of menopause can be quite unnerving for women particularly the changing moods and the hot flushes. However, there are ways to lessen the impact of these symptoms like estrogen replacement therapy for hot flushes. Most women however decline its use due to the risk of cyclical bleeding and getting cancer.Menopause is not really something new because it naturally occurs in a woman's life. However, menopause is not experienced by women alone because there is also male menopause called andropauseWomen who refuse to use synthetic hormone replacement can take other options depending on the specific symptoms they are experiencing. What is important is they live a healthy lifestyle by eating the right kind of food, getting regular exercise, and refraining from bad habits like smoking and drinking.There are menopausal women who opt for alternative or herbal medicines. However, it is safe to consult their doctors first before using these herbal medicines to make sure these are not harmful to them.Most of the women who dread menopause are usually women who lack the basic information of what menopause is. Menopause is part of a woman's reproductive make up and no one can avoid it. Being in this stage does not mean they can no longer live the way they used to do. There are just changes that women have to live with and confront. Instead of dreading that day when menopause sets in, women should get to know more about menopause, its symptoms and how they can live healthier and more active lives after menopause.
